Tuesday was a not-so-good news day for the Codella family. Several members of our family are dealing with really difficult situations that came to a head. It’s interesting, I think, how things seem to come in waves. Life is full of ups and downs. As I listened to the LDS general conference this weekend, it [...]
For a couple weeks we’ve encountered faltering power in our home. A couple electricians were dispatched by our landlord to check out the problem. The power switch from the city’s power line to the home power was determined to be the culprit. It was reported to be around 100 years old (or something like that) [...]
I just have to vent this morning . . . Last week there was a night when, according to Vickey, the lights in our home just kept flickering on and off. I was in Vegas, presenting at a social media conference, and didn’t think much of it. Then last night, after dinner, I noticed the [...]
Here’s a short video I posted on YouTube today of Eliana and her cousin, Carter, playing at the park yesterday.
Yesterday was crazy hair day at Oak Hills Elementary. Eliana was so excited to do something fun with her hair. Vickey was under the weather so it was up to me to come up with a game plan. After Eliana’s morning bath and blow drying her hair, we made four pony tails and used a [...]
Last week Vickey took the kids sledding after school at the hill next to Eliana’s school. They were the only ones around, so even Tank got in on the action. They all had a great time. Here are some photos.
Yesterday was a big day in our home. For weeks Ellie has been working on her remaining top front tooth. She eagerly anticipated the day when both of her top front teeth were gone. That day came yesterday. After school and her piano lesson she went into the bathroom and came out with the tooth [...]
On Saturday we went out to breakfast with Vickey’s parents to celebrate Gordon’s birthday. It’s the first time we’ve been able to do that — a fun perk of living in Utah. We enjoyed our breakfast even though the Original Pancake House on 21st South in Salt Lake City was so loud and busy that [...]
A couple times during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays Eliana and Dominic were able to have a sleepover with their cousins — Carter, Luke, Anthony and Nick — known as my brother’s ‘CLAN.’ One of the perks of living in Utah again is that we spend much more time with family, especially during the [...]
It snowed here quite a bit on the night of Jan. 2. The next morning we spent several hours clearing the driveway — our new favorite pastime. Vickey took a break from shoveling to snap some photos. This is the view of the Bountiful temple through the snow covered tree branches in our front yard. [...]
